The Eagle River merges with the Colorado River just to the right of frame. The mostly-idled Tennessee Pass follows the Eagle River east from Dotsero. Indeed, if you look closely, you can see one leg of the wye from the mainline, wrapping east toward the Tennessee Pass mainline. A UP C44ACM is leading the Zephyr this afternoon.

The scenery here in Glenwood Canyon is second to none. It is pretty amazing that I-70 is four lanes through this epic canyon. This would be the final shot of the westbound Zephyr on this day. From here, it was time to chase the eastbound Zephyr back east. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

The westbound Zephyr, is on the siding here at Grizzly, and has a green signal waiting for it at the west end of the siding. The meet was timed very well and was a "rolling meet", meaning neither train had to come to a stop. You can see the eastbound Zephyr on the main to the left.

However, with the eastbound Zephyr running about two hours late due to a power swap in Salt Lake City, the two trains are meeting here at Grizzly in Glenwood Canyon.

All three sidings in Glenwood Canyon (Allen, Shoshone, and Grizzly) have the mainline closer to the river and the siding closer to the mountain. The Zephyr here is on the main, but is slowing as it will meet the westbound Zephyr. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

You can still see some of the shrubs beneath the power of the eastbound Zephyr that suffered burn damage, as well as most of the slope to the right on the opposite side of the river as well. This afternoon, the California Zephyr has a UP unit giving it a hand. The train is on an Approach (yellow) signal on the main as it will be meeting its counterpart here at Grizzly.

The original Amtrak P42DC was removed in Salt Lake City and the UP unit was added, likely due to mechanical issues. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

By the time I was in the air, he was already come across the bridge. Had to settle for this wider angle shot just west of the bridge itself. Here, we are between the sidings of Dell and Range on the 38-mile Dotsero Cutoff. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
